**********************
Covered during the day are almost sold out already. Uncovered are $30 to 33 a ticket for the afternoon session. If we are going to do this, we need to jump on this and commit soon. This is their 100 year celebration and its selling out fast!!
There is also and evening show of bull riding. During the day is the main rodeo I think. Wow, it could be hot mid day September or sprinkling if we were lucky.
All tickets are reserved and assigned, so we need to determine who is going in mid August and purchase our seats together. Some sections are covered seating. Covered are metal bleachers with a metal back. All other sections are wood bleacher style with no back. We can take cushions and blankets if need be.
Saturday 12:45-3:45pm ONLY
The Ellensburg Rodeo is one of the “old rodeos” and has earned its place as one of America’s Top 10 professional rodeos. The Ellensburg Rodeo also hosts a stop on the PRCA’s Xtreme Bulls Tour. Started in 1923 with the same volunteer spirit that still “fuels the fire” of today’s volunteers, the rodeo has grown from a local competition among ranch hands to the Professional event of today with over 600 contestants and prize money in excess of $400,000!
Today’s best riders, ropers, and wrestlers compete in what many consider to be the best rodeo arena in the nation. The Friday night opening performance starts in the evening and ends under the stars. The Saturday and Sunday afternoon “perfs” feel electrically charged by the brilliant blue sky. It all leads up to the Labor Day Monday Championship Finals… The best of the best dueling in the dirt!
